This is a SOW which was created to support KS4 drama. It was created as part of the WJEC GCSE Unit 1 (devising) unit, focusing on the practitioner Brecht.

A fun game to help students revise for the GCSE Drama written exam. The questions are based on ‘An Inspector Calls’ but could be easily changed to suit any text. This also could be a good resource for A Level Drama & Theatre Studies students. Additional resources required: Dice

Here there are two resources. A written end of year quiz and a games lesson with different challenges such as use physical theatre to create a working machine. The written lesson/quiz is fun and competitive but builds knowledge ranging from techniques to stage types. The practical lesson builds practical skills such as voice control, body language and team work. Great for end of year or end of term work.

A collection of games and exercises aimed at older students. These act as good ice breakers at the start of term and also encourage confidence and more challenging aspects to develop their skills.Each is fully explained with some examples and some extension work where appropriate.

Here is the random drama improvisation generator! Who knows which direction your drama lesson will take this time!? 170 varied and exciting improvisation and devising scenarios that your students will love. The generator is a bank of 170 stimulus items/scenarios which can be selected completely at random simply by clicking on one of the coloured buttons on the menu slide. Don’t like the scenario? Simply click the ‘back’ button and try again! Students absolutely LOVE the generator, it promotes intrigue, curiosity and most of all creativity in your drama lessons. You may wish to use the generator to create a short scene as a starter, or dedicate a whole lesson to a more developed improvisation piece. The ability to devise and improvise is an essential bedrock upon which practically all other drama skills are based. Therefore, training your students to respond to a range of random stimulus items is a sure fire way to make them stronger performers and students of drama generally. This is ideal to use across all key stages and is a useful follow on to the ‘Complete Introduction to Drama’ unit available here I have also used the generator to prepare students for the GCSE ‘Devising Drama’ unit for OCR. Transform your drama lessons and turn each lesson into a mystery! Ready to roll with no adaptation needed. Potentially 170 lessons here!

I am compiling a selection of warm up or opening games and activities, each on a separate sheet, that I have used in my drama classes with children, young people and adults with SEN and learning disabilities. They are not all of my invention (and indeed it is hard to attribute authorship to any one person when games have become so widely used), but I have described each one in simple terms so that they are easily accessible to the drama teacher, especially if you are just starting out and are not sure what games will work with a group of students with different needs. Many games can be found online if you have the time to scroll through but often they are described in a complicated way or a slightly different form which may not work with SEN groups. I have compiled a long list of games over the years and have numbered them all. I then ask students to pick a number at the beginning of a session and then we play the game that corresponds to that number. In this way the students have ownership of the session and choices. I hope you find this game useful and search for other games in my selection under actitout1 on TES resources..

Step-by-step guidance for the Working Notebook in the unit on devised drama (Component 2 - Creating Original Drama). This relates to the requirements of the new AQA A Level Drama and Theatre specification.

Brecht’s techniques and theories offer a unique approach to theatre that inspires critical thinking and social awareness. By learning about Brecht’s methods, such as the Verfremdungseffekt (alienation effect), actors gain tools for creating performances that encourage audiences to engage intellectually with the play rather than merely emotionally. This approach challenges actors to consider their role not just as entertainers but as facilitators of dialogue and thought about societal issues. Additionally, Brecht’s emphasis on non-naturalistic performance techniques broadens an actor’s range and versatility, allowing them to explore various theatrical styles beyond conventional realism. This resource explores how to teach some of Brecht’s most iconic techniques and enables your actors to create their own Brechtian-inspired practical work. Contents Include German Theatre, The Young Brecht, World War I, The Everyman, Brecht’s Inspiration, The Berliner Ensemble, Epic Theatre, Marxism, The Communist Manifesto, Verfremdungseffekt, Teaching Gestus, Mother Courage, War & Society, Exploring Mother Courage, Exploring Placards, Teaching Spass, Exploring Spass, Lehrstücke & ‘The Last Drop’ Lehrstücke.
